Running Vista Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 1520, 2 Gigs of RAM and Movie Maker 6.0
After successfully creating four hiking videos in Movie Maker 6.0 and publishing them to Youtube, I decided to add some additional video clips to one of the existing Movie Maker files.
When I played the published result of that expanded re-edit, the video fades to black at precisely 4:50 minutes in the 7:00 minute run time; audio ceases as well. Only the titles appear appropriately.
FYI: Two of my other four videos are longer than 7:00 minutes.
So...thinking the file was corrupted, I completely recut the video from scratch and the same thing happened.
And...I quickly cut together a test video with many of the same clips with fades between and the published result ran nearly 8 our of 8.5 minutes, but then the video died as in the file I'm trying to publish.
Sounds like a corrupted clip?
I read of a similar issue that was solved by changing the "mute" setting on a clip that created a conflict--but I don't have any clips muted, yet I have successfully muted clips in my other videos with no problem.
First, all suggestions are welcome.
Second, can anyone suggest a video editing program that won't give me headaches?
I'm running a Dell Inspiron 1520 with plenty of hard drive. I'll likely be buying a better machine soon, but I don't think it's the machine.
